Why Videos Work Better Than Images For Lead Conversion

If there is a battle between product videos and product images, the latter always has an upper hand in most cases and the reasons are quite obvious. Video creation typically involves a lot of time and is also expensive. Moreover, in-depth editing and specialized equipment are the mandatory requisites for producing a high-end product video.

However, despite being challenged all the time, product videos are worth creating and worth using for the promotion and sale of the products. They drive sales way faster than images which most e-commerce owners fail to realize. They continue using images to cut down the company costs.

If you ask, why you should use videos on your e-commerce store, then here is the answer:

For instance, a still image and product description for a backpack is okay. It will give you all the necessary information like size, color, features etc. On the contrary, when the audience gets to see a video where they can actually see how much volume the bag can hold, how many compartments it has, how much sturdy it’s straps are and how it looks when carried by a real person, their confidence in buying that particular piece increases.
